Find the right glasses for your particular needs

Today, 69% of people in the UK wear glasses. But not everyone needs them for the same reason. For some, it is to correct shortsightedness, for others it is to help with longsightedness, or for reading. In any case, glasses should not just be functional but also fashionable. We have thousands of glasses from today's hottest designers. Choose frames from Ray-Ban, Oakley, Tom Ford, Boss, Michael Kors, Chloe and more. Find the right frames to flatter your face and let your unique style shine.

Your perfect pair of glasses depends entirely on your own individual needs. We stock thousands of frames which can be fitted with different types of lenses to match your requirements. Our range of prescription glasses includes:

Single vision glasses: Single vision glasses correct either longsightedness (hyperopia) or shortsightedness (myopia). Prescription values with a plus are for longsightedness, whereas values with a negative are for shortsightedness. As long as the values are not very high, there are no special hurdles when selecting frames, and for most glasses wearers a pair of prescription glasses with single vision lenses is the right choice. It is only in the case of high dioptre values in the minus range that you need to resort to thicker spectacle frames. If you are unsure, contact us; our team of experts is happy to help you find the right frames!

Reading glasses: From about the age of 40 upwards, a natural loss of function of the eyes makes itself felt - a condition known as presbyopia. As the years go on, it can become more difficult to read books, labels or cards and reading glasses are a helpful tool. They are designed to correct vision in a close range of approximately 30 to 45 centimetres. The only downside is that reading glasses must be constantly put on and taken off because they distort long-range vision, which is why the frames of reading glasses are so narrow. A practical alternative to reading glasses, especially for those who already have glasses to correct vision problems, is varifocal lenses.

Varifocal glasses: Varifocal lenses correct not only shortsightedness or longsightedness, but also presbyopia. Their lenses have three different zones: the upper area corrects shortsightedness or longsightedness, the middle is the area for interstitials, which also allows for a seamless transition from near to far vision, and the bottom replaces the reading glasses. For the three zones to have enough space, only larger frames with sufficient space can be fitted with varifocal lenses; small frames are not suitable for this purpose. Browse our selection of varifocal glasses.

Workplace glasses: If you work with a computer regularly, you should think about a so-called workplace glasses. These glasses are optimised for extended close range, which includes the distance from your face to the computer screen. They are available either as single vision glasses or as varifocal glasses with different viewing areas: Mister Spex offers workplace glasses with so-called "room comfort lenses". This not only gives you a clear view of your PC, but also the mouse, the keyboard and even the colleagues outside the extended range. Workplace glasses make the office day easier for people who suffer from long-term or age-related problems.

Shop by shape, width, colour and more with our filter functions

In order to make it easier for you to find a new pair of glasses, we recommend using the filters on the left navigation bar. Activate one or more to find the right glasses to suit your needs. It only takes a few clicks of your mouse to see which frames our experts have picked out. Here are just a few of your options:

Face shape: use this filter to find glasses that will flatter your face shape. Choose from round, square, heart-shaped or oval.

Frame width: as a general rule, glasses frames should not be wider or narrower than your face. The exception, of course, is a striking model selected to make a fashion statement. If you already have a pair of glasses that fit you well, you can measure the width along the top frame line and enter it directly in millimetres. Just click on the ruler which is shown under the filter. If you are unsure which frame is ideal for you, you can find some helpful tips in our service section.

Frame shape: if you like the shape of a pair of glasses, you can select them here. Choose from narrow, rectangle, square, round, aviator, cat-eye or sporty. However, if you are unsure about what is best for you, we recommend using the facial shape tool to find a flattering style.

Frame type: this filter sorts models by rimless, full-rim or half-rim. Rimless eyeglasses are very discreet and ideal for minimalistic looks. Full-rim glasses are the classic style, but can also work as a striking, on-trend accessory, thanks to a variety of colour and shape variations. Half-rim glasses are available in two styles: glasses with a lower half-rim are often used as reading glasses, whereas an upper half-rim is a trendy accent - but still more subtle than full-rim glasses.

Colour: it is best to consider your hair and eye colour when shopping by glasses colour. Lighter types should opt for golds, browns and pastel colours. Bold and strong colours are best for darker features.

Material: if you are looking for a specific frame material, this is your filter. Plastic frames provide a comfortable fit and are available in a wide range of shapes and colours. Metal, titanium or carbon frames are ever-classic and extremely robust - and are the best option for those who want very thin frames.
